Article Synopsis
- The study aimed to evaluate a resin-based polymer for 3D printing provisional restorations and artificial teeth by comparing its material properties and biocompatibility with bis-acryl composite resin and heat-cured acrylic resin.
- The methods included testing the flexural strength, elastic modulus, water sorption, and solubility of different materials through mechanical tests and biocompatibility assays.
- The findings indicated that the 3D printing polymer exhibited superior flexural strength compared to the heat-cured acrylic after aging and had better cell viability than the heat-cured acrylic, suggesting it is a viable option for dental applications.
Objective: To present through a systematic review a qualitative analysis of studies published on stereolithography-based 3D printing of restorative materials and their clinical applicability.
Methods: The literature search was conducted based on the question: "What is the state-of-the-art of available restorative materials for 3D printing based on stereolithography?" Online search was conducted in three databases (MEDLINE/PubMed, Scopus and Web of Science) with no restriction for year of publication. Data are reported based on PRISMA, including publication details such as authors and their countries, year and journal of publication, and study design.
